When it comes to quality of life – and health – poor sleep pattern is the daily routine of some 30% U.S. adults. Being a major public health concern, as it is associated with debilitating health risks, including not only weight gain and high blood pressure – but also premature and preventable mortality.   
 
While you may try to improve this debilitating pattern with, e.g., a new mattress and some physical exercise, don’t overlook your chance for better sleep – yes – mentally.

OPTIMISTS SLEEPING BETTER - SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED

According to research at the University of Illinois School of Social Work at Urbana-Champaign, IL, the effect of better sleep may be based on the fact that optimistic people simply have a better cardiovascular status.
 
With reference to the results of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study with more than 3,500 participants aged 32-51 whose mentality has been checked with respect to being pessimists or optimists. To differ accordingly, the researchers had applied multivariate regression analyses.
 
As a result, 74% (optimists) not only had less insomnia, but had sound sleep for 6-9 hours per night.
